Long Journey

Looking back on my symptoms, I likely have had psoriatic arthritis since 1997. Over the years since, I have suffered through a lot of pain, and a lot of unconcerned physicians.

Being properly diagnosed and placed on appropriate medications has given me my life back, and I am indeed grateful to have found a physician who listened to me and cared enough to help me. But the medical trauma from this long journey is a real thing.

Do you have a story about living with psoriatic arthritis to share too?
